Ah, the offseason. A time to reflect, review, and (30 teams would hope) to improve.  As the draft and free agent frenzy approaches I'd like to share my thoughts on what I think is likely to happen with the Canucks and propose a few educated guesses.

First, let's look at the "holes."

 

Forwards

___, ___, Burrows

Demitra, Kesler, ___

Raymond, ___, Bernier

Hordichuck, Johnson, Rypien

Spares: ___, ___

 

Defense

Mitchel, Salo

___, Edler

__, Bieksa

Spares: ___, ___

 

Goal

Luongo

___

Now I know what you're thinking. Something along the lines of "Crap Jason, that's a lot of holes!" You may have also turned one or two shades lighter in the process. Let's see what we can do get you back to your normal, healthy skin tone.
